This is actually an accurate portrayal of many people who call themselves ‘tolerant’ and left I’ve found on the internet unfortunately. Too many people only tolerate people with the same opinions as them, and think free speech should only apply to those with their own views.

Having a conversation about whether or not people have a right to exist is already me tolerating someone I hate.

I enjoy looking at things from different points of view. It helps me understand the big picture, and know thy enemy.
From a liberal perspective this is obviously a statement on the conservative movement to deny the LGBT movement.
From a conservative perspective this is obviously a statement on the liberal movement to deny children’s right to life.

To be fair, my inlaws like to bring up “facts” they saw reading “creditable” sources. I always love to call into question the accuracy of the information, especially when it refers to demographics as “The Blacks” or (insert minority group) folk.

Excuse me, but my opinion matters more than yours.
QAA just released a podcast interviewing an author who talked about how the left kills itself with infighting. Would recommend. We need to come together.
